President Museveni has issued a directive against travelling abroad for government officials, Members of parliament and civil servants.
The president made this directive during the commission of the Uganda Petroleum Insistute Kigomba over the weekend.
According to the president, there is so much that needs to be done and needs money, but such money is being wasted on useless ventures like travel abroad.
He said Government should plan well and prioritize investing in lucrative projects that will generate billions of dollars for the country in a few years to come.
The president made the remarks and a day later travelled with his entourage and staff to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) capital Abu Dhabi, where he is currently for a 3-days official visit. END.
